Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(3x^{3}\times 3)$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(9x^{3})$$

The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.

$$3\times 9x^{3-1}$$

Multiply 3 times 9.

$$27x^{3-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 3.

$$27x^{2}$$
